The next day came almost too soon. The night had been quiet with only a bit of clamor that had happened closer to midnight when Klarian had opened up for about three hours for business. Upon waking, everyone felt as refreshed as a daisy after a gentle shower. Everyone shared in a filling breakfast for free that consisted of several slices of toast with an egg in the middle, two plates of bacon, a plate of mini sausages, a bowl of mixed fruits, veggies and berries, and their choice of drink being milk, water, orange juice or a dark mixture resembling coffee.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKi4maABnl

After eating they made their way to the battle grounds, not having any incidents on the way there from the still sleeping towns people. When they arrived, the hardened ground had been cleared of obstacles except for a few rocks. There were ten stone columns in a wide circle. Outside this circle stands five stone seats, similar to bleachers one might see in a gymnasium. The group approached and spread out to look around the seemingly barren area of vegetation. "This is a pretty roomy setup." Ivan commented as he stepped inside the wall-less circle.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYlSX87RCB
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD6v6Drtie
Klarian smirked with a small shrug. "Well of course it is. Gotta have room for full grown dragons and other large beasts to move around." He explained with a helpfulness to his tone as he walked with Ivan.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpu2f0yBrk
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI5uxxvBg2
"Oh," Ivan looked to Klarian as Amber walked by them. "So all participants take part because they want to?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNICo4OggVF
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSSVmLNTTB
"Given the lack of walls to keep anyone from running, that would make sense. Why else have an arena for battle without walls if you didn't ask people if they wanted to join in?" Amber questioned and Ivan nodded.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85y95iiwTn
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl2YjmtFpf
Klarian chuckled as Amber then began to hum a tune that told many tales of war between humans and dragons for a metal throne of swords. "Something like that, one could say." He took a step forwards and folded his arms as he looked around then up at the brightening sky. While Amber was walking around humming her tune, Ivan noticed faint markings on one of the pillars so made his way over to where Faerthurin was to see if there was anything similar.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D8HI0dsdl
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncgJLYHBhB
During this, Kross admired one of the columns carvings while Jaylen caught a few more winks of sleep's in his messy hair. "Must have had a steady hand and put in a lot of time." He quietly said to himself before stretching and walking over to another one of the columns. Oin rubbed his chin as he surveyed the area. "Hmm...something feels off." He eyed one of the columns then looked to Jeminya who oddly Shiloh had decided to keep company currently. She ran her hand over the column with her face twisted in pondering. "You sense something off as well?" the dwarf asked as he made his way over to her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCu0rjbb8p
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOnT1RBj3q
Jeminya nodded. "Yes, but I'm not sure what exactly. There is something here so I think keeping our guard up is wise." She kept her voice quiet while glancing over to a relaxed Klarian.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy13Gl5USWQ
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwOZml48dK
"Agreed. There's something odd about these stones but I can't quite place what."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVFw6BqrNA
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZE7QcSkpY
On the other side of the battle grounds, Ivan was checking out a column as Faerthurin was a couple pillars away with Lucid hopping about the top of the several foot tall pieces of stonework. Ivan circled the stone structure as his face twisted in curiosity. "Hmm this is unique." He eyed and touched the carvings as he stepped around the column again to see that it did circle around. He went to the one to his right and also checked it. "Same carvings..." he looked to the dark elf that was now a column away to his right. "Hey Rin, can you tell me if these are magical?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS9kGQtoJf
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcFMNtJKQu
"Huh?" Faerthurin looked and made her way over to Ivan with Lucid following and looking down on them, his head twisting left and right. "Now what are you asking about magic?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ2zzeKtNH
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R5gCdvgAC
"These marks right here." He pointed out the series of carvings which were gibberish to him.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4KqHNP64W
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJExU5YXNbA
Faerthurin's eyes widened as she eyed the marks over. How in the heck did I miss those? she wondered as she made her way around the column to see what Ivan had before swiftly making her way back to the pillar she had previously been boredly looking over. They match... she looked over to the left, right and behind her at the surrounding columns. I bet they also having matching symbols.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ0m25Q2QM
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG52cEte6Y
"So are they used in magic?" Ivan inquired after a minute of silence.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtk0pxR8p4
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRR2f3wG8P
She looked the carvings over closer and nodded. "Yes, they are used in containment spells and enchantments to hold things in." She released a breath and folded her arms as she looked up the tall pillar. "There is a magic inside this one and likely the others as well, given how they share the same markings." She looked around and then to Ivan. "Which explains the lack of walls if this magic is indeed containment."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DqZS4vs29
Around one of the seating structures to the east walked Jalerom and Rose, checking out the way it appeared to be carved mostly out of stone with some wood used for some of the sitting area's. "How long do you think it took them to carve these?" the half elf inquired with a gaze to the party then to Rose when she spoke up.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgmoGc06pB
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWJzp86tlF
"Probably quite a bit of time. Say maybe a few days even with magic for all of them together." Rose put her hands behind her head as she spoke and looked up while turning her head to look towards a different set of seats. "Say...does any of this seem...a little off to you?" she questioned slowly before setting her sights on Jalerom.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkLxkN695K
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY7K2OfYKr
He shrugged, "not really or well, maybe a little but not too much. I mean, this is another race's land after all."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGRDZVMJwK
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpztYI6prk
"But why have an arena or area for battle without any solid walls? That puts the spectators at risk."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9Z60hLu3S
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DHTM3C9zQ
"Maybe..." Jalerom pondered as he folded his arms and turned his head down some. "...Perhaps they know some kind of shield spells that are maintainable for the length of a standard fight?" he looked up to meet her kind orbs. "Maybe there's magic in place like what was on those collars back in the Directian dungeons."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Sjqzfao0
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUMAJDXU2H
Rose sighed and lowered her arms. "Do you think they are still going to try enslaving us?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI3ZuCWxPs
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmLYnkBHXG
The rogue shook his head. "I don't think so." He lifted his arms over his head and stretched. "So long as negotiations don't fall through, we should be perfectly safe and if things come to worse...we will just fight our way out as we run."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ4vG1BUEm
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HoRBQ0ukg
Moments later, loud footfalls echoed and the ground trembled lightly before gradually growing stronger. As the one responsible neared closer, Jaylen hissed which drew curiosity from Kross as Jalerom, Faerthurin, Oin and Lucid looked towards the north west. "And I think we are about to maybe meet the owner." Jalerom commented. This brought Rose to look at him before following his line of sight, waiting anxiously.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjJf1sdDno
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknqnSHAuTR
Jeminya and Ivan were the next to look over. "Is this guy a giant?" Ivan quietly asked as he positioned his footing to stay up as the ground shook again.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLi4Fp0M5O
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWOyqbge1Q
"Doubtful," Jeminya answered as she folded her arms and felt a nuzzle at her right by Starjay, making her by habit to gently stroke his nose with her left hand. "Given how we've mainly only seen reptile type creatures, I don't think we'll run into giants. There aren't even any giant slaves after all."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCQAIbnuPb
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvcLhDkKMu
Rose's eyes widened as the owner neared closer. "What a magnificent dragon but...how did he get one of those?" she whispered aloud to herself.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg5VMPsTna
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBJUL7eo38
Jalerom turned his head towards her. "What was that? Do you know about black dragons?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQDiltFadV
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1hKdg3Sa4
She nodded with her eyes remaining on the beast. "They are beasts that enjoy their solitude and being alone except during mating season. Their breath weapons are unlike any others."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke8j4iCGfN
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSghs84tTo
"What is their breath weapon?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnsnAq376p
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWE8w7nc43
"...I think I recall it being able to paralyze a target caught in their smoke." She replied flatly as her gaze then shifted to its rider.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjvTb8alhE
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcCTIUWVbv
Kross, Amber, Jaylen and Shiloh were the last to finally spy the new person. On the black dragon's back was an armored man, dressed somewhat in the style of a knight or general of an army. On his back flexed out wings of a dragon. His feet were not clad in armored boots but more the shinguard's came down over top of his scaled feet. The man, after the dragon stopped, straightened his back and his yellow scales could be seen on the tops of his feet, clawed hands, neck and around his face. His slit yellow eyes scrutinized the mixed group spread out. "Hmm...this is an interesting mix of creatures, now isn't it?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiiCaIAWwp
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoUVm8ZAZK
Klarian stepped forwards unfraid of the man. "Good morning, Devion." He came to a stop before giving a polite, yet sweeping, bow. "How are you this fine morning?" he inquired with a tone dripping with charm as he rose from the bow and flashed the armored dragon a grin.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUpLR9EiWQ
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8V1Jhg2sv
Devion dismounted as the dragon sat down. "I'm doing fine...half-breed." He flapped his wings a bit before landing as carefully as his words had been spoken. "Let's cut to the point, Klarian. How do you plan on any of these people getting your collateral freed from my hold?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1UZfZ1g1G
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzgWGwPR2p
Klarian opened his mouth to speak. "Excuse me, Devion was it?" he closed his mouth and looked to an approaching Kross. He watched the ranger with confusion. "We have come to ask you how exactly these battle grounds operate." Kross stated while motioning around the area, now standing beside Klarian. "We would also like to make a deal with you to settle dear Klarian's debt."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7StIwkZwmd
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwKvjJCXZE
Devion stayed silent with his eyes set on the saurian. "...How much do you wish to settle it for?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sDKsdJeDU
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBNAKrY0tz
Kross gave a confident smirk. "Down to zero and to have his brother set free."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SaBWlkbWW
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC23bNkATWI
Silence filled the air around them as Kross and Devion stared each other down. After several moments, the air finally was broken. "The battle grounds work like any other arena intended for combat. Participants are pitted against one another and the last one left that is able to fight, wins." Devion then folded his arms. "He owes me at least seven thousand gold in failed bets." He shifted his weight to one side with a cocked hip. "I don't see it being settled especially," he motioned towards the group, "not from such a mixed party such as this miserable one."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrJfpx5S2C
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbu8OhUY2z
Kross closed his eyes as his resting lips curled into a cocky smirk. "Heheheheh," he took a breath and opened his eyes to lock with Devion. "Try us."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb4AxppjtD
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qTljjkFJ4
The armored dragon man motioned at Kross with an curious look. "What makes you so sure?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZuq8LmnPk
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdspMyMbxdd
"Because we've all faced many terrors and horrors before arriving here. I doubt you can throw anything at us that we can't handle."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU8KoJ8YzA
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPTgBvh6v2
Silence filled the air once more as Devion pondered this, rubbing his chin. His sharp orbs scanned the group one more time before resting on Kross. "Alright, I will accept your bet and here are the terms of our little deal." He cleared his throat. "If you win then I will erase his debt and release his brother, free as a bird. If you lose then his debt remains on the books and his brother in my cells." He approached Kross as he unfolded his arms. "Plus your party becomes part of my pets to use in combat as I see fit." He stopped in front of the ranger and offered a hand. "Do we have a deal?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuacOay8Wll
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tcEpUrNYt
"If we do this deal, some might not see their fathers or sisters again..." Amber quietly commented with a little bit of worry.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxDIsYhK4W
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iR7lNtVIF
Kross narrowed his gaze. "Think carefully on this." Faerthurin sternly warned.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh6MplN1Tk
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJLoRO7u4w
"...Deal." Kross took Devion's hand, giving a firm shake.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOKPmgkFwm
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt8oEtZS5j
Devion chuckled smugly as they each released the others hand. "This should be fun. It's been some time since I last had fresh meat to use in battle." The black dragon loudly yawned from boredom and laid down outside the columns for a nap. "I am feeling generous so I will allow your group to pick two fighters to participate."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6yHYoswf4
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf3p7M4tVv
"Thank you for your kindness." Kross turned and made his way to the center while the others came to meet him. "Okay, so which two of us wants to fight against whatever he might send out?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApjexRzqrR
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ0iSIWATN
"That really depends on what he'll be using. Will it be his mount or something he has yet to bring out?" Faerthurin calmly questioned in her matter-of-fact way.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQpBJr5yur
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb3JmJTNcp
"Good point..." Kross turned his head towards Devion. "Hey! What kind of beast are you planing to use?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRkzFXNSO8
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStIhOuxFy9
The armored man stood taller with his arms refolding. "Nothing bad...just my 'special' pet for such a special occasion."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBSGI1z74W
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRa5XEWQCs
"Well that was sure helpful." Jalerom sarcastically responded.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWuDnPVzcL
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AshyzmoWi
"At least we know he isn't going to use his black dragon." Ivan pointed out both assured yet concerned simultaneously. "So there's one good thing."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsDgjS9wCY
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQrxmocL6f
Faerthurin sighed. "That still doesn't exactly help us decide who would stand a chance at victory."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeXSrmN1fD
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqBEPVogBF
Oin cleared his throat. "If we must simply outlast his pet, then perhaps I have a suggestion. How about Amber and myself take this fight?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkOWvF1lzA
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdusc1gOZe6
"Oh yea, we do have the best armor." Amber perked up.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52Xz4nwKEt
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPTRPlXnRs
"Also we both have a decent track record of taking damage longer than the rest of you." Oin finished before looking over from Amber to the red horned queen.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZHFFMgZCy
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4bYuovTB5
Jeminya huffed lightly as she put her hands on her hips. "Well excuse us for not being a walking cannonball." She retorted with a small smirk forming from Oin's response.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlqJB5hgai
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DwjrOW3Vl
Oin grumbled and looked away from their leader. "Anyways," he looked to Amber. "Are you ready to go?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO4758aCdV
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdnGzEQzSc
"Ready as ever." Amber nodded firmly with determination. "Let's reunite this split family!"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzTA8pMGYZ
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcFSBOPxl3
Devion yawned while shifting his weight to his other hip and unfolding his arms. "Are you lot done deciding on which two will represent your fate?" the party turned and nodded with Oin and Amber stepping up. "Good," he motioned to the seating. "The rest of you may sit and watch your freedom slip away."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUDKIapKJi
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYppAZJTCCO
"Good luck Amber! I know you got this!" Ivan encouraged as he quickly gave her a tight hug.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGc4mMHWNy
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSTvhmkhhL
"Thanks!" the golden dragon replied confidently with her own return of the embrace.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYgzacQano
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEHyynOUl2
"Come on Ivan, you can hug your love interest after she wins." Rose called out and Ivan broke the hug, and gave a quick wave as he ran over to the stone bleachers to join the rest of the party. Once it was just he and the duo, Devion looked back over his shoulder and gave a whistle. The black dragon shifted its tail and thumped it hard on the ground once before going back to sleep.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsS99T4ciW
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo1bTtBNXb
Amber stretched her arms above her head before twisting her body left then right. "This feels like the first fire elves trial." She looked to Oin as she brought her arms down. "What do you think we're facing?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bAUclkaOY
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTZP5zEsYk
"No idea but if it follows the same rules, even if killing is allowed, we just need to incapacitated it and we win. Shouldn't be too hard with my spells and your size." Oin answered as his neck cracked when he tilted his head left and right.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhuexP6NhY
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPWlPmWp3w
She nodded with a smile. "Yea, there isn't anything we can't do when we buff me up, hehe."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ97jfELn1
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIt7TRK6ze
Shortly after that, the ground lightly trembled as a large beast came into view. It was making its way to the battle grounds while being lead on a chain by a silver scaled male. As it got closer, it was clear to see it stood about six foot five and was covered in white fur to resemble a wolf. When it came to a stop, it looked to measure around fourteen feet in length as it lowered down, stretched out its tail and snarled at the duo. The scaled man removed the chain and quickly made his way out of the combat zone.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7npyD8fyl3
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAay0PvWcJ
Devion stood proudly beside the snarling beast and stroked its side. "Magnificent, isn't he? He did cost a good bit of coin but I think it was worth it."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zrTcqsFTL
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnj5p57gMY
The party stared in shock at the sight with some having their jaws dropped. "What in the world is that thing?" Faerthurin questioned while mentally noting the dragon horns on its head and the way its pupils narrowed similar to a dragons.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnClHVMO0d
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEx69o07iy
Rose couldn't tear her gaze away while her mind went through all she knew about animals. "...I don't know. I can't remember anything that fits it completely." She scanned it over again to notice the spikes on the top of its tail and the talon looking claws. "The fur and claws are fitting for an arctic type wolf but the size and other features fit more with a dragon race." After a moment more, Rose lowered her head slightly and her tone of voice fell into one of great displeasure. "I don't think this creature was made naturally by nature."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYje5lUJixQ
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WCGWrwCw4
Faerthurin sighed and started using one of her skills. "I'll see then if there's anything I can figure out about it."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GBu7MDs9E
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jLJbBZLch
On the battle grounds Devion patted the side of the beast. "Do you all like it? I call it Dragof, since that reflects both sides of him."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4O2oKgYPL
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ebpr5sABn
"What do you mean 'both sides of him'?" Oin asked firmly.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxlJbLO0tz
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCsJnCBLlJ
"You'll find out," he glanced over towards the focusing dark elf, "sooner or later I would suspect." He smirked as her inspecting gaze turned into a glare upon him of disgust. "Now then, the rules are simple." He began as he set his sights on Oin and Amber. "There will be no magic allowed but natural skills are permitted."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡargJspXMhf
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzSsjALslo
"What?!" the shout erupted in unison from the bleachers with Kross having stood up with Ivan.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqmG4R81N1
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbJzh2jqsN
"Hey!" Kross snapped, drawing Devion to look over calmly. "Why did you leave that part out when I asked earlier?!"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZVLdxjucz
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK6riN55x7
"You didn't ask about the rules. You simply asked about the battle grounds." The owner calmly stated with a smug shrug.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivJiw1EK9F
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6FKzGlZdk
Kross growled with his jaw tense. "You knew exactly what I meant by that question."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiXgLRJTT6
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cJPtUiZMi
The dark elf rubbed the bridge of her nose with her eyes closed. "Kross, just sit down now. He's not worth your energy...not right now at least."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1tCgoX5Ev
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3lwrofl0G
"We can rub it in his face later when his little trick backfires." Rose added and looked over to a concerned Ivan. "You too. Amber will be fine." The two males slowly sat down displeased and worried.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosQbqMxXmI
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSx4EaS2d3
Amber gulped nervous after hearing the 'no magic' rule. "I think we might be in trouble."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVTa8BFqEa
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFGhBCitTt
"We'll get through this. We've gotten through fights before without using buffs and we will again." Oin calmly replied as he readied for battle.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNkYvSKfNP
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfItiajbnpa
The owner gave his beast another stroke. "Have fun and you may have a tiny treat during this fight." He walked away from Dragof to stand outside of the columns. He lifted his hand into the air. "Ready?" his hand began to glow along with each column's carved symbols. "Begin!" simultaneously as his hand dropped with his words, magic shot from one column into the next, flashing at the end after the transparent walls had been set.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i8OkIjoGN
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lsIWvMYAs
Once the fight began, Fae was glaring daggers at Devion with a deep frown on her face. Ivan and Rose looked away from the battle and at Faerthurin. "Um are you okay? You look more annoyed than normal." Ivan inquired.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGghzW61E9J
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG3h4O6oAf
"What have you found out Rin?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKeezaOrkS
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAgaPOJsNw
"That beast was not naturally made but was created by force." Faerthurin's tone was low as she tensely answered.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphcz8C02wD
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSTzYYwOqi
"By force? What do you mean?" Ivan questioned.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGiJvbzEN8
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tfiKf3vXP
This talk soon grabbed Jeminya's ear. She turned left towards the trio. "What's this now about force?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hejYr9X9g
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL1EnJYtEW
"I asked Rin if she could figure anything out about Dragof since I couldn't recall anything to pin down its species." Rose explained as Jeminya looked to her.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlFqYKFchH
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nR9y1qvw6
Jeminya frowned and looked to Faerthurin. "Have you concluded what type of magic was involved?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdpi8txUec
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ni3uYR0J
Faerthurin nodded softly. "Someone used ritual magic to make that...thing."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSFtoWuOeN

"Well that's troubling as I thought ritual magic was banned." Jeminya stated while lightly folding her arms.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7qoGsETMi
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXZS4dbT6x
"Troubled?" Jalerom blinked as he turned around in his seat. "What's troubling? The fight just started and I think they can take it."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsE6myQuVa
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivs9E7QoqC
Ivan shook his head. "That animal was made using banned magic."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJxdFPmfnY
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SgeQkN3H4
The rogue turned his attention to Faerthurin. "What?"678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXIVi4RQBw
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebPYtdcEYM
She took a breath and sighed. "Someone fused an arctic wolf and a dragon together using ritual magic. That type of practice was banned because most times those used were in a constant state of suffering." She set her orbs on Dragof. "It was seen as inhumane so was banned and those caught practicing it can be arrested, tried and jailed."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFjcGcgmpT

"That is definitely not a good thing." Jalerom turned his attention back to the battle. "But they should still be able to beat it, right? And maybe if it is in pain then we can put it out of its misery."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQUab1G5qp

Rose tensed at hearing all this and her fingers curled into tightly gripped fists. Shiloh at her side quietly whined and nuzzled her as he placed his head into her lap. "I don't think I want us to work with this race anymore."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iKagKXVjA

"We don't have much of a choice. We need alliances to face my sister and have a better chance of not dying." Jeminya reminded.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw2Z2lliir
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDCge8Gndl
"I don't care!" Rose slightly snapped as she stared down the tiefling with anger. "They are going against nature and have caused two innocent creatures to become a monster, and for what? So they can make a profit."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeZaF5zi77
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgosL79emiL
Ivan stood and moved closer, coming to sit between Rose and Jalerom. "Rose, I know it's not right but we need all the help we can get."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUxrxq5Uhx
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzMOmqmNc6
"There's no place we can send it so it can live happily if it isn't in pain. If it is in pain then it's just another creature needing to die needlessly because of human greed."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghU8EF7pJe
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ6GyPV2bY
Kross lightly cleared his throat. "We don't even know if the yellow dragons were the ones who used that type of spell."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4kyCNPRkM
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty3oWMQANR
Jeminya nodded. "Kross is right. We don't know who used that spell so in the way of use, the yellow dragons could be in the clear."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQmYddetpk
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm609S2Pjtj
"But in the court of knowingly buying a man-made creature? They are guilty as charged." Rose flatly stated.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3lFs0YLcD
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7hMlcKFwj
"Unless they didn't actually know." Kross muttered before turning his attention back to the fight.678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxlsxpMdUi
678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2SVvo8wgZ
Rose scoffed and began to pet Shiloh's head. "Oh they knew. There's no way they didn't know and they deserve no praise for it."678Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlkjbrVDBP
